English is now a global language. The theory of language and the teaching techniques presented in this course, because they are

based on internationally-accepted principles, prepare teachers to teach the English language both in Canada and abroad. All

language plans created by students are developed within the context of literature, using concepts and practices drawn from the

approach called "content-based ESL instruction."
